AMD will roll out the latest line of processors called “Torrenza” targeted to Gamers and enthusiasts.
TG Daily writes:
“The first phase of Torrenza’s rollout, announced today, will enable a new class of chipset that, Schmid told us, could literally plug into an open CPU socket. With “4×4″ and other AMD platforms, pairs of dual-core CPUs can be installed together, with “4×4″ enabling two such pairs for eight total simultaneous cores. More will follow, says AMD, when quad-core processors are introduced next year. But as an option, Torrenza will empower an OEM to devise a co-processor that fits into the open CPU slot, using the HyperTransport connection to link directly to the CPU.”
